The Atlanta Falcons are shaking things up after a busy rookie minicamp, and the latest roster moves hint at some fresh faces making an impact this season—especially in the return game. Following Monday's transactions, the team signed four players: defensive tackle Ross Blacklock, offensive lineman Brandon Walton, guard Layden Robinson, and linebacker Daveren Rayner. To make room, they released tight end Brandon Frazier, running back Carlos Washington Jr., wide receiver Deven Thompkins, and defensive tackle Ben Stille.

With 14 undrafted free agents now added to the mix, it's time for an updated depth chart projection. The big question? Who will step up as the starting kick returner, and can an undrafted rookie actually earn that spot?

In a season of change, the Falcons' special teams unit is getting a complete overhaul—long snapper Liam McCullough is the only returning starter. The team brought in punter Jake Bailey and kicker Nick Folk to replace Bradley Pinion and Zane Gonzalez, signaling a fresh approach in the kicking game.

Our projection has two rookies in the starting lineup for special teams. Third-round pick Zachariah Branch is expected to handle punt return duties, but the real surprise comes at kick returner: undrafted free agent Vinny Anthony II is our projected starter. It's still early, of course, but this is definitely a training camp battle worth watching as the Falcons look to inject some new energy into their return game.
